Anyone else who can't stand that lady narrator from Sketchy Micro? Every time I click on a video and I realize it's her, a part of me dies and I just exit the video. Would rather not remember the bug than have to listen to her for 12 minutes. Please bring back Andrew.

I think it’s because the new narrator is a professional voice actress reading(and telling cringe jokes) from a script, so to me it just sounds like I’m watching a infomercial or something. What made Andrew’s narration so great was it felt like you were being explained something by a friend. Unfortunately with Andrew being a practicing physician, I don’t think he’ll ever return to narrate. The options you have are to just look over the card and skip the narration, or to watch Physeo’s video for that bug (follows that same sketchy picture format). I think for Micro, their videos are free.
 
I like the female. I don’t like the different male voice (the one who does the Babesia video). He’s too sultry for bugs and drugs.
 
I’ll never understand why people get so upset about it not being Andrew. No ones forcing you to watch the videos.
I'm not upset about it not being Andrew, she just stinks at narrating and makes the videos so hard to watch. And yes no one is forcing me to watch the videos but we all know we watch this because memorizing viruses without any sort of context is hard.

I've had students obsessed with Sketchy who've said this exact same thing.
 
M3 here. Felt the same way, powered through it just for context for the flashcards
 
I wonder how they hire voice artists for sketchy 🤔🤔🤔 seems like a cool thing to do, tho i don't have too much of a problem with her voice but a lot of my med school friends to say she's a little bit confusing. but i would blame the script
